Ice Bites: Phoenix Coyotes sending 5 to Olympics

There’s some good news for Phoenix Coyotes fans in 2014. Not only is captain Shane Doan back on the ice after missing a month thanks to contracting Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick bite, but a few of the Desert Dogs are headed to the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.

Smitty likely didn’t expect to make the cut but I would have raised an eyebrow if he were left at home. He certainly deserves the trip, even if he doesn’t stand that good of a chance of seeing the ice.
